ENGR V12 — Engineering Statics
This is an initial course in engineering mechanics and will cover properties of forces, moments, couples, and resultants. Two- and three-dimensional force systems acting on engineering structures in equilibrium, analysis of trusses and beams, and distributed forces will be presented. Shear and bending moment diagrams, center of gravity, centroids, friction, and area and mass moments of inertia will also be covered. Optional additional topics include fluid statics, cables, Mohr's circle, and virtual work.
